Abstract

A wireless access point (AP) radio may be integrated in a cable. The cable may comprise one or more other integrated wireless AP radios. The cable may be communicatively coupled to a wireless controller and the wireless AP radio may receive power from the wireless controller via the cable. Feature information and/or configuration parameter settings may be received by the wireless AP radio from the wireless controller via the cable. The wireless AP radio may provide wireless communication services such as wireless access to a wired network for one or more client devices, based on the feature information and/or the configuration parameter settings. When one or more adjacent wireless AP radios in the cable become non-operational, the wireless AP radio may increase its transmission power to increase its coverage for covering at least a portion of coverage area associated with the one or more non-operational adjacent wireless AP radios.

The received feature can include, for example, software and/or firmware that implements the feature based on the badge. In an embodiment f of the present invention, in addition to including the implementation of features in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard, the feature asset may also include enterprise-level features such as security, quality of service, and/or basin-level management features. Configuration parameter settings can include such things as power level settings, channel settings, security settings, and/or other configurable parameter settings. In an embodiment of the invention, the 'Wireless Ap radio purchaser' can provide access to the wired network for one or more client devices. The wired network 101 can be connected to the wireless controller 102. In order to minimize the throughput requirements and data storage requirements of the wireless AP radio 104a, the packets transmitted in the Wei 1G4 are the same as those transmitted over the air. In this case, the wireless AP radio 1 4a may receive a packet having a wireless format from each of the one or more client devices 110, such as the client device 110a, and will have a wireless format through the electrical gauge 104. The packet is sent to the wireless controller 1〇2. The wireless controller 102 can convert the received data packet having the wireless format to generate a data packet having a wired format of 12/29 201247008 and send it to the wired network 101. In this regard, a packet having a wireless format may include a packet such as an 802 11 format. A packet having a wired format may include a packet of, for example, an 8〇2 3 format. The wired network 1 〇 1 can transmit a packet having a cable format such as the 802.3 format to the wireless controller 102. The wireless controller 110 can convert the received data packet having a wired format to generate a data packet having a wireless format such as the 8〇211 format. The wireless controller 102 can transmit a data packet having a wireless format such as the 802.11 format to the wireless Ap radio device 104a by electrical change 1. Then, the wireless AP radio 10 knows that the received data packet having the wireless format can be transmitted to the client device of the communication connection, such as the client device 110a. For example, when the client device 110a is in the power saving mode and cannot communicate with the wireless AP radio 104a at this time, the wireless controller 1〇2 may hold the packet until the client device n〇a is restored to active. In the active mode, the data packet is sent to the wireless Ap| line device 104a. In one embodiment of the invention, the wireless controller 102 can discover or identify the wireless AP radio set i〇4a integrated in the electronic mirror 104 based on the unique MAC address of the wireless AP radio 1〇4a. The wireless AP radio device 104a can receive the upgraded feature information and/or the updated (four) parameter settings from the wireless controller 1〇2 via the electrical environment 1〇4. The wireless Ap radio > 104a can be used to monitor and/or detect the operation of one or more adjacent wireless AP radios, such as wireless Ap radios integrated in the electric map.

The mesh network is transmitted over the air until the packet arrives at the destination. The wireless AP radio i〇4a can provide location-based service (LBS) applications due to the relatively short coverage provided by the wireless AP radio. The exact location is, for example, to the location of the interior of the client device 14/29 201247008 110a.
